Universal Display Corporation Announces $400 Million Share Repurchase Authorization and Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.50 per Share

 

Ewing, N.J. – April 30, 2026 – Universal Display Corporation (Nasdaq: OLED), a global leader in energy-efficient OLED technologies and materials, announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $400 million of the Company’s common stock. This authorization is incremental to the $100 million share repurchase program approved in April 2025, which was fully utilized through the first quarter of 2026. In addition, the Board declared a second quarter cash dividend of $0.50 per share on the Company’s common stock.

 

“The Board’s approval of this new share repurchase authorization, together with our quarterly dividend, underscores our commitment to returning capital to shareholders through a disciplined and balanced capital allocation framework,” said Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Universal Display Corporation.

 

 


 

“We generate strong and consistent free cash flow, which we deploy across three priorities: investing in organic growth and innovation, including advancing phosphorescent blue; pursuing selective, high-return inorganic opportunities; and returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Over the last twelve months, we returned more than $187 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, while maintaining a strong balance sheet and financial flexibility. This authorization reflects our confidence in the long-term growth of OLED and our ability to drive sustained shareholder value.”

 

Share Repurchase Authorization

The $400 million repurchase authorization is effective immediately and permits shares of the Company’s common stock to be repurchased from time to time at management's discretion through a variety of methods, including a 10b5-1 trading plan, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or transactions otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

The repurchase program has no expiration date, does not require the Company to repurchase any specified number of shares, and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. Repurchases under this program are expected to be funded from the Company’s existing cash and investments or future cash flow.

 

Second Quarter 2026 Dividend

The Board also approved a second quarter cash dividend of $0.50 per share on the Company's common stock, payable on June 30, 2026, to shareholders of record on June 16, 2026. The dividend reflects the Company’s expected continued cash flow generation, and commitment to returning capital to its shareholders. Future dividends will be subject to Board approval.
